Trees - Paul Weller

Well, once I was a lover

With beautiful long brown hair

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I walk down any street

Men would stop and stare

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boys would whistle

And their eyes would shine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

My skirt would swish

To show my long strong legs so fine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So fine

Was a time, I was a mother

Darling children would come for me

I loved them and I’d feed them

And in their eyes such love I’d see

They’d call my name in times of need

And I’d be there

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we loved you)

And I loved them

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we loved you)

Once I was a man

My cock as hard as wood

I stood as strong as any tree

Look back, the winds are catching me

So, my woman, love me

And you know I am strong

I was raised and nude as trees

I stood

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

I was back to this time itself

Deep and sharp within my empty cell

A comedy of errors I’ve become

And all my devils, I forgot

And on my name or where I’ve come

Someone take me back to the fields

Where I need to be

So once again I can stand tall and feel

Once more, a tree
